praetorianguard: ( Opinion meme )
Now that I'm done being opinionated, a few notes.
Went to see "Shaun of the Dead" last night. Yeah, it was pretty good, in that "guy's night in" sort of way, but I didn't really enjoy myself. Part of this was due to my parental units being complete arseholes (David opened my mail, the nosy little fucker), but the rest was growing migraine. This shouldn't surprise me; I know that staring at a screen in a dark room for any extended period of time triggers a migraine so I really should have known better. I just can't bring myself to cut cinema out of my life completely when it's such a social thing. Of course, without the parental stress, it might not have been so bad, but all the same, it sucks. Same thing happened to a lesser extent after Zatoichi, though I didn't sit quite so close to the screen in that one.
More meeting-new-people. We're going up to Peterborough to meetcholten99's friend Nic. I'm not 100% sure I'm up to it but I'll give it a go. It's something to do other than sit in the house all night playing Sims. And of course, it's not like I'd be able to shuffle around online like I normally do because there's something up with the wireless network in the house. There's a link I've never seen before on a different channel than the Frankenbox's and I'm not sure whether this is what's causing the problem. It says the hardware's fine and the connection seems open from my end, but something's gone wrong because the Frankenbox can't see the Internet. I should've checked to see if it could see Rufus V, but it was first thing in the morning and I had to go to work.
